Anadara granosa is a species of the class bivalve commonly found on the east coast of South Sumatra as a fishery commodity. This species has not been widely studied as a source of new bioactive compounds that have antioxidant abilities. This study aims to analyze the antioxidant ability of A. granosa against DPPH radicals and its phytochemical profile qualitatively. Samples were taken at the fishing port of Sungsang Village, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Furthermore, the samples were extracted using ethanol as a solvent and tested for antioxidants against DPPH radicals, total phenol analysis, and preliminary phytochemical test. Based on the antioxidant test results, the IC50 value of the ethanolic extract of A. granosa was 85 g/ml with ascorbic acid 2 g/ml as a comparison. Then, the ethanol extract contained a total of 10.7057 mgGAE/g phenol and the results of the phytochemical test contained bioactive compounds of alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. The ethanolic extract of A. granosa contained bioactive compounds, which were reported to have potent antioxidant activity. The results of this study were expected to be important information in the latest report of the antioxidant activity of A. granosa species and contributed to the development of marine natural products.
Estuari Sungai Musi merupakan perairan semi tertutup yang dipengaruhi oleh dinamika pasang surut sehingga hanya beberapa biota khas yang mampu bertahan hidup di kawasan ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami tingkat biodiversitas kelompok gastropoda dan krustasea yang hidup pada zona intertidal estuari Sungai Musi. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan pada Bulan November 2021 di 5 titik stasiun pengamatan dengan metode transek kuadrat. Pengukuran kualitas perairan dilakukan meliputi suhu, pH, oksigen terlarut, dan salinitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komposisi individu total krustasea (52%) dan gastropoda (48%). Kelimpahan total tertinggi hingga terendah secara berurutan ditemukan pada stasiun 4, 5, 2, 1, dan 3. Nilai indeks keanekaragaman berkategori sedang dengan nilai 1.30 – 1.76 nilai indeks keseragaman berkisar 0.48 – 0.65, nilai indeks dominansi 0.19 – 0.30. Berdasarkan hasil PCA menunjukkan bahwa F1 terdiri dari stasiun S1, S2, S4, dan S5 dengan variabel utama suhu, salinitas, DO, pH, keanekaragaman, keseragaman, dan dominansi sedangkan F2 terdiri dari stasiun S3 dengan kelimpahan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, zona intertidal menjadi habitat yang baik untuk kedua kelompok namun lokasi habitatnya cukup berpengaruh terhadap sebarannya secara spasial.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
